About Tapari

The Kindest Choice

Like many First Nation cultures, the tribespeople of the Himalayas have understood how to live in harmony with Nature. For thousands of years they have taken only what they need and given back as much as they have taken.

Now, as Earth itself hangs in the balance, it’s time for us to finally embrace the knowledge learnt by those people who have lived as part of Nature, not as her Destroyer.

Washing plates, no matter how you do it in a modern city, releases carbon into atmosphere via the heating of water and, potentially, releases phosphates and other chemicals into the water system. And that’s all without thinking about plastic plates. Even single use bamboo plates are created in factories that release enormous amounts of carbon.

Used for thousands of years by the people of the Himalaya’s, Tapari are ceremonial plates made from the leaves of the Sal tree and stitched with bamboo.

The leaves are harvested without harming the trees at all.

The harvesting and plate creation is done by villagers who gain valuable income for their families and village economy.

Making the plates is a manual process that releases no carbon.

The plates are 100% biodegradable and, as compost, add valuable nutrients to the soil.

Whenever you put food on a plate, the kindest choice is Tapari

If you were going to use a single use plate anyway, Tapari won’t make your wallet cry.

You will be truly making a difference – to address the balance and to village economies

And everyone will know how awesome you are because Tapari looks amazing and obviously helps.
